Yelich shared his first impressions of the Brewers, the city and fans -- when he was signed by the team back in January. In particular, he mentioned the flight from southern California to Milwaukee -- on a plane with Mark Attanasio, Ryan Braun, Robin Yount and Bob Uecker. He wrote, "Everyone made me feel so welcomed. I just remember sitting there on that plane with all those guys thinking about how much this organization really does seem like one big family."
